SAME Problem-- TV is almost 2 years and just lost power. Apparently this corporation made a bad product. Unfortunetly it has happened while I am away protecting OUR lovely country so they can continue to sale cheap junk to people!!! I hope the makers of PROTRON need protection one day and the US Military just doesn't provide power either!!!SAME Problem-- TV is almost 2 years and just lost power.

Normally on the Panasonic tv this will call for a service call. The key to getting it repaired correctly is to check for a certified Samsung repair shop because most of the parts come from Samsung. Now if you want to do your own research call to 800 number for Panasonic Tv see if there are any problems with that model that the manufacturer has extended but does not post. I had one repaired that the red light on also so I understand and it went out approximately 4 3/4 years. If your in the Atlanta area use Norman electronics they have repaired hundreds on tvs for me due to my work.

Yep, I can help but I am afraid that I won't be able to bring totally good news.

The TV is in forced standby also called "protection". Protection kicks in when an internal fault such as a short (big power draw) or a wrong voltage is detected. The click comes from a relay activated by the protection circuit to force TV to shut down.

All you can do is disconnecting the power cord, checking if there is a fuse built in the power cord, replacing fuse and connecting back after about 30 minutes (that allows power drain). If the TV does not work there are faulty internal parts that need replacement.

If now the TV does not start at all, and not even the standby light is on, then the problem is usually the PSU. The part must be tested and eventually replaced.

This tv only a week olds,should never having this problems already.The tv should be return and get a new tv for the replacement,this tv have tv Tuner signal board or tv power supply board distrubution problems.Even when the store test it out it work,don't take that tv back.Insit they give a new tv for the replacement.

Unfortunately, what you're describing is a repair issue. You won't be
able to address the problem with troubleshooting. There is a part
inside the TV that needs to be replaced. If the TV is less than one year from the date of purchase, it is still under warranty. Call the number above so that you can have the unit repaired.

If the TV is less than one year old is covered with factory warranty by Samsung. Give them a call ringing the number listed on the owner manual.

If the TV goes in standby, then it is in protection mode.

Ensure also that the fault is not coming from a faulty receiver box sendingbad signal, check if you get same problem on DVD with no receiver boxconnected.

Try first leaving the TV power cord unplugged for some times, let say one hour or so.

The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.When the TV goes on protection there are only two possible causes.

1The
internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic
charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read
by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the
protection circuit.

2 The protection circuit detected a wrong
voltage or abroken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in
, starting the flashing light.

If you are in situation one, then the TV will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours,sometimes even minutes.

If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.

If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual

If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

particular attention at inverter and power board, power board can be
inspected looking for bulged or leaking capacitors, then tested with a
multimeter. The inverter is more difficult to test , there is need to
read voltages, should be done by a tech. Also the LCD controller board can cause same problem
